Hello there,
If you are applying for JEE Mains under the General category because you don’t have your OBC certificate, it is
correct
to apply under General. Without a valid OBC-NCL certificate at the time of application or counseling, you cannot claim OBC reservation benefits.
What You Can Do:
-
Apply Under General Category : Proceed with your application as General. You won’t face any issues as long as your category declaration matches your supporting documents.
-
Get the OBC Certificate Later : If possible, try to obtain your OBC certificate before the counseling phase. Many states provide expedited services for caste certificates.
Stick to the Declared Category : If you apply under General now, you must stick to this category throughout the admission process unless allowed otherwise during document verification.
Applying under General is not wrong, but you won’t benefit from OBC category relaxations like a lower cutoff or reserved seats without the certificate.

Hello Harikrishna
If you have applied for jee mains as a general category candidate then you will be considered as a general category student only.
Also you do not have OBC certificate . Without caste certificate you won't get benefits of category.
Ket be for now , focus on your preparations of jee exam.
Afterwards after the results when you will be able to arrange your caste certificate then you may apply for caste benefits at the time of counseling .
